NF1 and Amazon Smile

I leave tomorrow to go visit family for the weekend, but I wanted to get the world out about Amazon Smile and NF1. My perfect, little niece, Ruby was just recently diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1, for short) which is a genetic disorder. NF1 has symptoms that vary from nothing to severe and there is no way to know the severity until a symptom comes. What I do know is that my sister and brother-in-law will be sure to get Ruby all the necessary care and treatments that may be needed. To learn more about NF1, you can go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001850/.

This is an older picture of me and my niece Ruby.

She will be two in September.

I know you must be thinking, "what does NF1 and Amazon Smile have to do with each other?" Well, it just so happens that if you go to smile.amazon.com, Amazon will donate a portion of your purchases.

Yes, it is only 0.5%, but if everyone starts shopping there then it adds up to a ton of money! Amazon Smile allows the customers to choose the non-profit of their choice that they want to donate to. The Children's Tumor Foundation is the LEADING organization for funding and researching NF1! If you are a big amazon fan like I am, please be so kind as to set your account up to donate to the Children's Tumor Foundation. I just made my first donation with my amazon purchase. More funding and research needs to be given to the Children's Tumor Foundation so that we can END NF1.
